Re: command to check if write protect is set for loaded tape?

Are you verifying the volume is correct?  I'd worry that someone didn't
rotate the tape and you'll wipe it out with an INZTAP.  Is it practical
for the operator to do the INZTAP onsite after mounting the tape?


Roger,

No the volume is not critical here - it just needs to be scratch with write
protect off. Your suggestion to have the operator perform the INZTAP there
before leaving is good. That would guarantee that a correct tape is loaded
and ready to go. I will look into that. This won't be "live" for several
weeks yet.

Thanks to all for the ideas.
